Melbourne Voters Give Mayor Goode New Term

Goode said his campaign for reelection to the three-year mayor's job, which pays $7,500 a year, rested on his record. He has been mayor since 1979 and is a member of one of Melbourne's founding families. His father, Harry Goode Sr., was a councilman, and his grandfather, Alex Goode, also was mayor.

Allen ran unsuccessfully against Goode in 1982, but tried again to unseat the incumbent because he felt Melbourne needed ''more positive action'' on city problems. About 13.9 percent of the city's registered voters turned out. Voters turned down a referendum on selling 6 acres of undeveloped city park land, 1,771 votes, or 55.9 percent, to 1,393, or 44 percent. Proceeds from the sale of the land would have gone for improvements in community development target neighborhoods in north and south Melbourne.
